I'm not certain about the time last night (when I saw this event), and it is the variable of which I'm the least sure...

Remarks
It started suddenly as a ultra bright green BIG light moving slowly at first (first 1-2 seconds) then picked up speed for the last 1-2 seconds and had a bright green train. It wa salways green only. It seemed big enough a fireball that a massive mushroom cloud was expected from wherever it made contact, but no such event was visible.
